I want /usr on LVM which > means it has to be separate. Sorry, in lste-breaking news, it looks like udev is a mandatory dependancy for lvm2. No udev ==> No lvm2 Can you run a test for me? What happens when you... 1) insert the line sys-fs/udev into /etc/portage/package.mask 2) execute "emerge -pv system" 3) execute "emerge -pv world" 4) Remember to remove the "sys-fs/udev" line from package.mask I expect that you should get an error message about not being able to emerge lvm2 due to udev being masked. This is something I intend to add to the instructions, so people can check ahead of time whether their particular setup is able to run without udev. -- Walter Dnes
